Berry Picking



We went out to Berry Patch Farms to pick black raspberries last month. Linus and I have gone out at least twice each summer that we have lived here. We have such a blast together. He giggled at a fancy chicken with a mop of feathers on top of its head and he thought it was great fun to ride in a tractor-pulled wagon. He has grown into an amazing berry picker. He is so focused and pick, pick, picks. We left with a harvest of seven pints. After a snack on the porch, while watching the chickens and potbellied pig wander around, we went home and cranked out two batches of jam and a pie. We were exhausted by the end of that day! We'll head out again soon to pick strawberries.

I LOVE his berry-stained shirt and face! Such a cutie. I'd berry-pick with him anytime!

I imagine it must be easy when the berries are eye-level, and sweet. have fun with strawberries.

He looks really tall in these pictures. I love that pig. He's totally chilling out, posing for pictures.
